Reason bindbee exists_
Why Use Bindbee Instead of CharlieHR's Native API?
Building directly with CharlieHR's API means learning their specific data model, handling auth flows, managing rate limits, and maintaining the integration forever. CharlieHR is popular with UK-based small businesses—but your customers may also use BambooHR, Personio, BreatheHR, or dozens of other systems. With Bindbee, you integrate once and support CharlieHR plus 60+ other HR platforms through a single unified API.

FAQS_

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up CharlieHR with Bindbee?

Most customers complete setup in under 10 minutes. Your end-user authenticates via Magic Link, and initial data sync begins immediately. No complex configuration or long onboarding processes required.

Does Bindbee support CharlieHR custom fields?

Yes. Enable include_custom_fields=true in your API requests. Custom fields appear in the custom_fields object with their original CharlieHR field names. You can also configure organization-level custom field mappings in the Bindbee dashboard.

How often does Bindbee sync data from CharlieHR?

After the initial sync, Bindbee runs incremental syncs automatically. Frequency depends on your plan. You can also trigger manual syncs via the API or dashboard at any time.

Can I get organizational hierarchy from CharlieHR?

Yes. The manager field on Employee objects contains the manager's Bindbee ID. You can expand this to get full manager details. Group data including departments and teams is also available through the Group model with parent-child relationships.

Does Bindbee sync terminated employees from CharlieHR?

Yes. Use employment_status=INACTIVE or check the termination_date field to filter terminated employees. Historical employee data remains accessible through the API.

What happens if CharlieHR's API is down?

Bindbee caches synced data, so your API calls continue working even during CharlieHR outages. We retry failed syncs automatically and notify you of persistent issues via webhooks.

Can I sync time off and PTO data from CharlieHR?

Yes. Bindbee syncs both time off requests (with status, dates, type, and approver) and time off balances (remaining balance, used amount, and policy type) from CharlieHR.

Does Bindbee provide webhooks for CharlieHR data changes?

Yes. Configure webhooks to receive notifications when connector syncs complete, employee data changes, or sync errors occur. See our webhooks documentation for setup details.

Is CharlieHR compensation data available through Bindbee?

Yes. Bindbee syncs compensation details including pay rate, pay currency, pay frequency, and effective dates. This is available through the Compensation model in our unified API.
